My first idea is to ask in the Aircraft forum. There are some really knowledgable guys there.

After a google search I found this

If you get Academy's CH-46 Sea Knight, you have the option of making a Presidential aircraft. That said, the president primarily uses the VH-3D Sea King and occasionally uses a VH-60 (a hybrid of a Sea Hawk and a Black Hawk). The CH-46 and CH-53 Sea Stallions are mainly used for heavy lifting of vehicles, modules, and other personnel.

Note, that the aircraft is not called Marine One (or Air Force One, etc.) unless the President is on it.

I believe the Academy CH-46 E has the option of making the presidential helicopter.
